But then I (and my crew also) came to a shock - we were given S-class Pigboat that just barely accommodated my whole crew. Is this normal?  |
Ducimus has it set up to where if you come back with a lot of hull damage it reflects very negatively upon you.You got punished.That is the only way I am aware of that will get you kicked down to an S-boat.Normally you get an optional offer to get a new boat or you get a refit to your current boat.If you had no choice in the matter and had to take the S-boat it was punishment for nearly destroying the previous boat.It is supposed to happen.It is actually not unrealistic severely damaging a boat was frowned upon and considered near dereliction of duty.They wanted aggressive skippers but not reckless ones.
